Next week I leave for Boston to visit my son Alex. When planning this trip, I remembered that Boston is a jumping off airport for Iceland. Why not???!!! So, with cheap flights from Asheville to Boston flying on Fridays and Mondays, it worked out well to spend the weekdays in Iceland when Alex would be working. Then come back and have the weekend with him and Jess, his partner.
I usually design my own trips and this one was no different. Since I will be going by myself, I wanted to book accomodations and tours where I would have the opportunity to meet other folks. Also, renting a car and driving can be stressful as I have heard with the unpredictable weather and snow. I have a bunk booked at a hostel centrally located in Reykjavik and easily found tours for each day I will be there. There has been a huge increase in tourism in Iceland in recent history, so there were tons of tours available for very reasonable prices… like $100 for a full day 11 hour tour of the Golden Circle. Getting my cold weather gear together and getting excited! Stay tuned…
